Yew (Taxus, Taxaceae)

Care guide for the Yew Bonsai tree (Taxus, Taxaceae)

Probably a key feature of the Yew is its peeling bark, making the tree look old, a quality highly appreciated for Bonsai trees. Most common species are the Baccata and the Cuspidata. The taxus is a slow grower, with a slim and elegantly shaped trunk. The fruits and its leaves are poisonous.
